Gigil & Bloom is a relatively new florist based in the town of Southwell in Nottinghamshire. As soon as you walk into the shop, you’re welcomed by gorgeous gifts, including candles, vases and of course, the stunning flowers. Sophie has done an incredible job renovating the shop, making it into a beautiful and light space. Sophie started her floristry career back in the very same shop some years ago, and when the opportunity came up, she decided to take the plunge and set up on her own. It’s safe to say she made the right choice! The business has grown from strength to strength and Sophie is beginning to take on more wedding work - something she’s really passionate about.

I felt that it was important to include photos of the shop in Sophie’s personal branding photoshoot, because the shop is such a huge part of the business, and the branding, too. As you can see, it was a dream to shoot, all thanks to the hard work Sophie has put into making the shop as Pinterest worthy as it is now!

Even though Sophie was a little nervous to begin with, she eased into the session pretty quickly. We chatted the whole way through, talking about business, Instagram (of course) and how lucky we feel to love our jobs.

Here’s a few words from Sophie herself about her personal branding photoshoot:
